The characters came out strong for me in this. Well-drawn. Love the way he's "replacing" his lost sister with Aphrodite and the fierce way I expect he'll fight for her in the future makes me root for him just as much as I do for her.
Thank you so much, Anne-Marie! I appreciate you taking the time to read it, and I’m so glad you’re enjoying it. I really love this one, it’s quite fun to write!
It was a dark and stormy intriguing first chapter. I should have read the other comments first and chosen another word. Tantalizing. Spellbinding. Mesmerizing. ;)
Great beginning! Feels like we're off on an adventure. I'm loving all the details of life, fashion, architecture, etc. And the Egyptomania tidbits are perfect for this kind of story. Looking forward to the next one.
Ooooh, this such is a great start! Reid and Aphrodite are so cute together, and the heavy sense of tragedy and ruin in that opening is just palpable. I'm looking forward to seeing the story develop.
Thank you so much, Bridget! I’m having a hard time not abandoning my other stories to work exclusively on this since it has so many of my favorite things, so I’m looking forward to the next chapter!

An opening line Snoopy would be proud of. Intriguing first chapter. This feels like a perfect book for a rainy day.

Aw thank you! I'm really excited to get started on the next chapter!
This is an intriguing start, and I’m excited to read more! I love the 1930s aesthetic and the Egyptian motifs as well!
